Preschool/Forever Growing

Forever Growing is a Preschool Special Education Program. The Program has a continuum of services ranging from related service to special class.

The Forever Growing Program has 12:1:1 classrooms and a 12:1:4 classroom for students who require a more staff intensive program. On site services include speech, occupational and physical therapy, counseling, nursing and psychological services. A Special Education Itinerant Teacher (SEIT) is able to service students in their regular learning environment as well as in the home. Eligibility for services is recommended by an preschool evaluation conducted by a State Education approved evaluation team and determined by the School District's Committee on Preschool Special Education. The Rome City School District has an approved evaluation team who are able to provide the testing and recommendation that would go to a Committee on Preschool Special Education to determine a need.

Parents can contact the CPSE office at (315) 338-6507 if they suspect their child might be delayed in the areas of speech, language, intellectual, motor, adaptive behavior and/or emotional skills. Forever Growing's target population is 2 and a half to 4 year old students with a handicapping condition. The program is free of charge. Breakfast and lunch are provided. Busing is provided by the County. For more information on the referral process or services offered, contact Colleen Martin at (315) 334-1240.
